A new algorithm for solving smooth large-scale minimization problems with bound constraints is introduced. The way of dealing with active constraints is similar to the one used in...
Commitment management is a key issue in service-provisioning in the context of virtual organisations (VOs). A service-provider — which may be a single agent acting within an orga...
Temporal Constraint Satisfaction Problems allow for reasoning with events happening over time. Their expressiveness has been extended independently in two directions: to account f...
